SOME OF OUR TREES (By Lucile Nye) "I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree, A tree that looks at God all day , And lifts its leafy arms to pray." --From Joyce ICiMier's "Trees." t Going down Main street in our city of^ beautiful residences, one comes upon a pair of robust, immense elms. Tiiey have kept on growing in every direction, the roots as well as the .branches. So strong with growing power are these roots that they have determined to raise the good, cement sidewalk high enough to challenge one's attention. Perhaps this is to cause one to behold their greatness overhead. These trees are in front rives, looked lovely in a coral-colored coat, with a twist of colored stuff in her hair. McCrary's newspaper 'experience, plus his work during the war, add tremendously to the value of their program, of course. -f-*-- If NBC doesn't have Fred Allen repeat the broadcast he and Talullah Bankhead did on May 5, there'll be a lot of disconsolate people wailing for months because they missed it. It was hilarious. Those who did hear it are still talking about it, and repeating bits of dialogue for those who didn't. It was one of Fred Allen's best, which is saying plenty. --*-- Bob Hawk, CBS quipmaster, not only pinch-hit for ailing Arthur Godfrey on the latter's morning broadcasts, he's also substituted for Godfrey in the Broadway revue, "Three to Make Ready" -- marking his debut on the New York stage. 1 » ^ For his starring role in RKO's "Nocturne" George Raft will have the benefit of advice from one of Broadway's most famous detectives, Bamy Ruditsky.

It's in trying to interpret the soft sounds of the rustling leaves that have a soothing language all their own. | In a lot east of our public school lives a spreading oak tree. Oak leaves, when woven into a garland B; and placed on the head, signify a tri- •1 bute to courage and heroism. This aged tree continues to crown itself each spring and add more to its spreading qualities. Grade popils must have stopped many itimes endeavoring to count its numerous branches above its great trunk. A cottage on this lot, similar to the one west of it, would necessitate the removal of this interesting tree. That would be very good at tnis time of home shortage.
